Someone else did this thread I know (MAF I think), but I can't find it, so sod it.

Just found out I could get on XBL without a HDD (I'd assumed otherwise), so went to set up a Silver acct. only to find that even with my Retard Pack MS had kindly given me a free months Gold. Score!

Bearing in mind I never bothered with XBL on the original Xbox, I sign in, and fuck me is XBL impressive, not what I expected, the whole package rocks.

It even caused me to ignore the pain and damage I was causing my wrist by playing before it's fully healed and run a few rounds of RR6. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!!!! (But ouch, can't do that again for a week or two.)

Now I can't wait to get a HDD.

Anyway: Gamertag: Vennt
(What else haha, and no bastard had stolen it, feel free to add & humilate me :P)

Impressed! (Have I said that already?, tough!)

OK, when do I get my check MS for the viral shiiit huh?, I'll settle for 12 months XBL:Gold... ;)
 
I think it's a great service as well. As soon as I get my Xbox 360 back from MS, I think I'll download some more Arcade demos.

Welcome and Enjoy!
 
Welcome on board! Live is easily MS' best feature and their trump card...it'll be real interesting to see what they'll be doing with live over the next coming months.
 
yea xbox live is great I like the whole achivements thing too but there is only one part I hate, I wish we had the choice of deleting the games will don't wnat to play.
 
Am I wrong for choosing "Recreation" instead of "Underground hardcore trashtalking shitfaces?", am I?

I felt like I was letting the side down with that, damn MS making me make that choice. but I'm not ready for SonOfVennt to hear "Fucking Motherfucker Start the Fucking Fuck Game, Or I'll Fucking Fuck fuck up yo shit, for sure, fucker"...


...at least not from anyone other than myself :P
 
You're better off with recreational. People assume things about you if you choose the Underground label, as it is mostly assosciated with the worst of the worst. Really good pickup on RR6, I guess you have to be a Ridge Racer fan to appreciate it, but I thought playing a Ridge Racer game online with a bunch of other people was fun. It actually helps the community for that game is small, mostly long time fans of the series.

Not so many rank obsessed attention whores. Though still at the end of some races sour grapes racers will start dropping out. I love the XBL setup overall, I'm always connected when I play on the 360 so I can get a friend invite. (whether it's for a 360 title like RR and DOA4, or Halo 2) They have alot of classic racing music up for sale on the marketplace under RR6 downloads btw, no Samurai Rocket just yet, but a good selection all the same.

Too bad live is all what Microsoft has to offer as of now with the 360, no trolling intended.

I like how you troll the thread and then say you didnt mean to.

Thats like saying "Not to be a prick, but you're a retard".

Not that Im saying that about anyone.

Too bad you're dumb. Shut your fucking face and bow down to GRAW.

They'll be respect for other users on this forum, or it's going to get mighty intimate around here...

Now, back to XBL, I wanna play more, damn my frakking wrist!
 
anyway, what games do you have Vennt? My 360 is still in semi-working order for the next few days till the box shows up in the mail.

XBox Live is fuckin' godly.

It must be godly, only something seriously holy would get me playing *anything* with this wrist, t'was stupid and painful, but after a 2 month gaming hiatus it was worth every twinge and groan. The doctor's gonna have to understand. HAVE TO.
 
You haven't seen anything until you get the HDD.

XBL makes the 360 the best console I've ever bought. (For the short time I've had it, that is. Never before have I been so impressed inside the initial launch window).

I can agree with this post. My wife never touched the first Xbox, but when this and XBLA, she loves it, everybody does
 
I have not gotten the 360 yet (probably about six months now) but Live on the original XBox was great. But what is on the 360 just looks like a whole new level. I can't wait to play Live Arcade.

RR6, CoD2, and....


...Kameo (Don't ask!)
Kameo?! Don't forget to wear your panties while playing, you big Nancy.

BTW, I'm adding you to my friends list. I will WHUP your ass in assorted Xbox Live online chicanery!
 
I don't think i've seen anyone who wasn't impressed by Xbox Live on the 360.

It sounds like it's only going to get better with future upgrades.
 
I have to admit that the 360 live is a godsend. I haven't gotten a 360 yet, but I have played around with it over at a friend's house. I was surprised as hell, especially because I hated the original Xbox live with a passion.

It has pretty much convinced me to get one.

Geomotry Wars <3
 
Playing the Quake 4 demo...

...man, it's so weird hearing people talk while playing these games. I need to get a headset
 
I've played Xbox Live Arcade more than I ever played the original Xbox in 4 years. No exaggeration. It fucking rocks.

Can't wait for Capcom's stuff.

I would love to play some Outfit with you when the demo drops...
 
I totally agree, I only went online with Halo 2 with the original xbox but my heart wasnt in it really... I love playing DOA4 against humans any time i like, and XBLA is wicked.

I want to ask, does anyone know how to turn off a pass code on your live account? I put a password on it when I was playing around with all the settings and its really shitty having to manualy type that password in each time I turn on my 360... :(

I'd like to use the excuse that it was bundled, but that'd be a lie, truth is that as much as SonOfVennt looves demons, kiling things, and bunnykill etc. he has a thing still for colorful platformers... :(

actually a better analogy would be, "Not to call you a retard, but you're a retard."
 
i dont like any of the arcade games, i want pacman and some old school racing games like they had at the arcades.

i dont get into those tetris puzzle style ones.
 
I just grabbed Geometry Wars on recommendation, and worthy too, damn fast and fun but it's not gonna see much play until my arms healed, RR6 I can almost play one-handed, GW I can't.
